General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

If you want a serious, thoughtful progressive challenge, Zack Polanski’s Green Party is right there. Your Party is just Magic Grandpa Corbyn (aka the one remaining socialist in post-Blair Labour, who got catapulted to fame for actually believing in something other than expediency, which masked the fact that he was not a particularly deep thinker) and a motley crew of hangers-on, each fired up by their own wild vision.
Oh I know, I got on board with the Greens right before their leadership election in part to vote for Zack Polanski. It was just nice to have the idea of another party alongside them but, alas, Your Party is not it
It would be nice if the electoral system was preferential or proportional. Under first-past-the-post, it’s just a grim fight of all against all.
Greens close to Labour in polls, surpassed Lib Dems. If they surpass, they might be the best challenger to reform, without the baggage, and a good leader.
